Till a few years ago,the beautiful world of Shekhavati was founded by Rao Shekhaji (1433-88 ) who was acousin of Jaipur's Kachhwaha rulers.Once upon a time, it encompassed all the territories held by Rao Shekhaji, whose descendants, the Shekhavats, are still in existence.This area is described by the present-day districts of Jhunjhunu and Sikar.
Important Heritage Town and Villages
Jhunjhunu,Nawal Garh,Mandawa,Mahansar,Dundlod,Fatepur,Ramgarh,Lachhmangarh etc
This is a mansion the home of the Marwari merchant.The main reception area, or baithak was usually the best decorated.Beyond was the inner court, the women's apartments.Upstairs were the bedrooms, which were well decorated.Since many havelis were built in stages, rather then at a time, murals date from different periods.Upper floors were built projecting over the facade, so as to provide a protective canopy to the murals against sun and rain.
These were commemorative cenotaphs a dome, supported by four, sixteen, or even thirty-two pillars.The basement was quit large, often surrounded by decorative domes and arches.The domes' insides were covered with frescoes.Often there were arabesques cut into the marble lattices
